Mystery: Start with the Reader

West District, No. 9 Hope Street, Prime Minister's official residence.

The current Prime Minister, Aghid Negan, who seemed to have aged several years suddenly, was talking to Earl Hall.

Although he is a leader of the Conservative Party, after his brother was assassinated, the only person he could think of to discuss countermeasures with was Earl Hall...

After all, only by handling the follow-up matters well can the heavy steam train in the Kingdom prevent it from running off the track and completely losing control!

After listening to Agushid's description of the entire incident, Earl Hall frowned and said:

"Patrick Jason? He's a demon who's been pretending to be a banker for decades? I remember my Bavart bank just bought his property...

"In addition, Baron Larry actually participated in the assassination? Why did he do this?

"As far as I know, Baron Larry has been serving in the military and has no major conflicts with Pallas..."

Duke Negan's full name is Pallas Negan.

Agushid organized his words and said:

"That devil was a Sequence 5, but he suddenly sold off his property, abandoned the identity he had been operating for more than ten years, and took great risks to assassinate my brother...

"Based on this, we can make a strong guess that he was instructed by a certain person or force. Unfortunately, he was killed on the way to escape... According to the report of the Nighthawks, he was a high-sequence Extraordinary people do it.

"By the way, before the other party left, he also threw down a main tarot card - the 'Tower' card."

"Tarot cards? Is it the organization that is hostile to the Aurora Society and believes in a being called the Fool? I remember seeing similar reports..." Earl Hall asked after thinking about it for a moment.

"It should be the newly emerged mysterious organization... They previously sent a so-called thief, the 'Black Emperor', who appeared in Backlund several times..."

"It involves an extremely secretive organization, and we can't find out this matter in a short time?" Earl Hall asked in return.

"In fact, there are some clues..." Agushid took out a document and handed it to Count Hall, while continuing, "This is the latest news from MI9. Baron Larry had been on the run during his escape. He was funded by Intis spies, and even his mistress, Mrs. Panis, was disguised by the embassy attaché Bianca, a Sequence 7 'wizard'..."

Earl Hall took a few steps and asked, "Do you suspect that Intis was behind the assassination? Or that the mysterious organization that believes in the 'Fool' has something to do with Intis 1?"

"A mysterious organization that can send out saints as soon as it appears is not without foundation... It is more likely to be an 'old friend'!" As he spoke, Prime Minister Agushid once again showed a document and said, "This is a storm The report submitted by the Church and the Church of Steam before about the "Aurora Society" arranging the "Abyss of Flesh" ritual... That incident was actually solved by the rogue "Black Emperor".

"And the report also mentioned that the bodyguard of Envoy Intis also died in this incident, and he died in the battle with the envoy of the Aurora Society...

"But how could a bodyguard of the Intis envoy accidentally enter the southern area of ​​​​the bridge at night? We didn't notice it before... Now that I think about it, could he have gone to support the thief Black Emperor?

"Maybe that 'Fool' has something to do with the Secret Order...

"A few months ago, the Church of Storms had been taking revenge on the Secret Order because of the 'Wind Blessed' being 'turned into a secret puppet'...

"As for the subsequent assassination of Ambassador Intis, we all know that it was not the work of the Church of Storms, but Intis may not necessarily believe it...even if they also agree that the Aurora Society was responsible.

"So, I guess this incident was probably planned by Intis behind the scenes...the purpose is to embarrass the Church of Storms and avenge the previous suppression."

Earl Hall pondered for a moment and asked: "What is the attitude of His Majesty the King?"

"Sad, but no specific instructions," Aguhid replied.

Hearing this, Earl Hall nodded thoughtfully and said after consideration:

"Based on the evidence currently submitted by MI9, Intis will not admit it...and even if they can find key evidence, such as the confession of the embassy attaché pretending to be Mrs. Parnis, Intis will not admit it..." At most, they will find a 'scapegoat' and give us an explanation... and it won't even be made public!

"After all, Fusac has put a lot of pressure on us. We can't possibly start a war with Intis because of this..."

"And we have to find another mastermind behind the scenes so that the people will not be too hostile to Intis..." Prime Minister Agushed sighed, and continued what Earl Hall said.

Earl Hall nodded and said:

"That's right... In fact, if we want to solve the problem, what matters is not who is behind the scenes, but what we want to achieve with this matter... If you want a war and want to restart the struggle for colonies, then tell the people, The one who instigated Patrick Jason was the Feysac Empire or Intis. As long as the evidence is reasonable, I don’t think the public will dig into it."

Prime Minister Agushed twitched his lips without a smile and said helplessly: "However, we are making a series of changes. It will be the second half of next year at the earliest before we can stabilize and have the ability to launch a war."

Earl Hall smiled and said:

"The popularity of organizations or secret cults that believe in the 'Fool' is too low. If it were announced like this, it would definitely cause greater panic. People are always afraid of unknown things that they don't understand well.

"So, what do you think of the 'Aurora Society'?"

…

West End, Williams Street, in the Parnis family villa.

Bianca, disguised as Mrs. Parnis, is having dinner with her "husband."

Mr. Panis is about forty years old. He is fat, has poor appearance, and has a bad temper. His attitude toward women is also typical of Storm Lord followers...

It's no wonder that the original Mrs. Parnis cheated on the young, handsome, and outstanding Baron Larry.

Bianca cursed, but when she thought about having to serve him with her body at night, she felt that even the delicious food was hard to swallow.

However, for the sake of her mission and to protect her identity from being exposed, she had to endure it.

But just when she turned her grief and anger into appetite, she suddenly felt dizzy and her thinking became a little slow...

"The food is poisonous!" Bianca was suddenly shocked. No longer caring about hiding her identity, she had to recite a "spell" and rely on the wizard's witchcraft to detoxify.

But she was shocked to find that her tongue and throat were completely paralyzed. It was difficult to even speak, let alone recite a spell!

But Bianca did not give up. She relied on her will and used her last strength to take out a scroll from her clothes.

Just as she was about to tear it open, the scroll was taken away by a hand that suddenly stretched out.

Bianca was stunned for a few seconds and looked hard at the owner of the palm, only to find that it was her "husband" Mr. Panis.

"Bianca, your body fascinates me so much... If it hadn't been for the order from above, I would have been reluctant to kill you." With a look of regret on his face, Mr. Panis put the scroll aside and touched it. Bianca's face, in conjunction with the spell, took off her mask.

Are you also...undercover? But why did the higher-ups want to kill me? Bianca's beautiful eyes were full of fear and confusion.

"You are so beautiful, much prettier than Mrs. Parnis! I really want to have sex with you when you are in your original appearance... Unfortunately, there is not enough time...

"After killing you, I have to put the preserved bodies of the real Parnis couple here to make it look like they died of poisoning."

While praising, Mr. Panis opened Bianca's clothes on her chest, found her heart, and put his arms through her in front of her horrified eyes.

But soon, the smile on his face froze because he clearly felt severe pain coming from his chest!

Mr. Panis vaguely understood something, and he was about to take out his palm and heal himself first... But the numbness that spread throughout his body made him unable to even move!

At this time, Bianca stood up. She looked down at the arm that had penetrated her heart. Without any hesitation, she directly recited the incantation and used a spell similar to "Wind Blade" to cut off the opponent's neck.

Then, she pulled Mr. Panis's arm away from her chest, and then sighed:

"You are really unlucky... There are so many ways to kill me, but you chose to take out my heart...

"Every 'wizard' can obtain a unique kind of witchcraft from the source of his own bloodline... and what I got happened to be a 'Heart Curse' that has great or small uses... only A 'tasteless' witchcraft that is only triggered when the heart is hit...

"Oh, it seems that my 'master' is not the only one who will be unlucky... Anyone who has had such a relationship with me will... Could this be caused by that experiment?

"Forget it, it's useless to think about that... The first priority is to hide it first, and then find out what happened... Why did the special envoy send someone to kill me to silence me!"

Bianca put on her clothes while thinking, then picked up the mask that was taken away, and then she disguised herself and left the villa along the sewer.

About ten minutes later, a team composed of the Punisher and MI9 entered the villa.

…

In the lounge of the Dream Labyrinth Tower, Abner murmured to himself after listening to the report obtained by the "Magic Mirror" after preliminary "searching" for the soul of the Desire Apostle:

"The Andrerad family used a seal-type high-level sealed object in the battle with the other two demon families... Can it bring bad luck to people?

"This is the item that Duke Jaldabao gave to Andrerad...

"Adabaoth is Russell's adopted son...

"Could it be the 'seal' in the sword mirror seal created by Russell?"
